Invincible after death, but in Warhammer 40K

Hearing this, Zhang Ge replied:

"Then it might be difficult for you to take the Sandworm away."

The approaching Chieftain and Priest remained silent, waiting for the second half of Zhang Ge's sentence.

Seeing that the two had no intention of asking curiously, Zhang Ge somewhat unenthusiastically revealed:

"The Adeptus Mechanicus... oh, those people in red clothes with metal attached to their bodies are working on that Sandworm. If you've had contact with them, you should know how stubborn they are in this regard."

Hearing this result, the two looked at each other, then the Chieftain asked:

"Why would they be interested in the Sandworm?"

"You don't mind?"

"Mind? Mind what?"

Zhang Ge was a little puzzled. He asked further to understand that their attitude towards the Sandworm, this "Proxy," was different from what he had imagined. The tribe believed that they were large mobile resource packs sent to the mortal world by their god.

Usually, they shouldn't be angered, but if they really couldn't survive, or if they encountered a dead one, then they should just make the best use of it.

What's more, it was the Celestial Being who was using it now. Maybe they were taking that Sandworm back to the Divine Realm. What was there to mind?

"If that's the case, then change direction. The construction site is just ahead. It shouldn't be easy to change direction with your... transportation, right?"

The Priest nodded, but the Chieftain frowned and continued:

"It's ahead? As far as I know, Outposts appear far from the location with Celestial Beings. May I ask, why this time...?"

Zhang Ge was stumped, trying to gloss over the question.

Why couldn't you be a little more obtuse like those NPCs in games? I speak, you say 'ah, right, right'.

He could only answer truthfully:

"As you can see, because they didn't bring that many guards."

Hearing this, the Priest, who was already about to leave, stopped and turned back. He fumbled under his robes and took out a thick ancient book. On the other side, he was still saying:

"Wait a moment."

He turned to the last few pages, looking at each word line by line. After a moment, he closed the book and exchanged a few words with the Chieftain in a language that Zhang Ge couldn't understand.

The expressions of the two changed several times, finally returning to calm. The Priest continued:

"Then, according to the Ancient Covenant, Celestial Being, we will provide you with assistance."

The Ancient Covenant, how ancient is it? Is it necessary to be so rigorous?

Zhang Ge complained in his heart. The noble who casually signed the "Ancient Covenant" with this group of tribal people several generations ago might not even be dead yet.

Until the Priest took off his heavy robes.

Revealing the Carapace Armor underneath.

The surface of this Carapace Armor had almost faded in color. By Imperial military standards, it could definitely be considered battle-worn to this extent.

However, although the surface had almost faded to iron gray, the golden emblem on its gorget had not faded at all, still shining brightly under the sunlight.

This kind of shape... was very distinctive and hard to mistake.

It was Solar Pattern Void Armor.

Once served in the Solar Auxilia, fighting across the stars as the standard equipment for these elite mortals during the Great Crusade.

In the past, they were considered a combat force second only to the Astartes Legion in combat efficiency.

And now, their countless generations of descendants were inheriting the arms of their ancestors, once again standing before the Imperium.

Zhang Ge didn't reply immediately, but gave an Aquila Salute.

Although the other party was not a soldier, as a member of the later Astra Militarum, he still had to show some respect, even if only to the armor that continued to serve the Imperium after ten thousand years.

Speaking of which, it was indeed ancient enough, Zhang Ge retracted his previous complaint.

And this also explained why the Planetary Governor didn't take these destabilizing factors and strong laborers back to the Hive City to squeeze them dry.

Looking at this group of people in front of him, Zhang Ge's heart was filled with complex emotions for a moment.

On the one hand, they did hinder Zhang Ge from finding death, but on the other hand, Zhang Ge personally couldn't feel any ill will towards these people.

Just like how Zhang Ge would always praise his comrades after each battle, even if he didn't die, he felt regret and annoyance, but he wouldn't really hate people who were willing to die for him to avoid death because of these things.

Seeing the Priest take off his robe, the Chieftain also revealed his combat armor under his robe. His set even had an emblem that looked like an officer's insignia, but Zhang Ge couldn't recognize what rank it was.

The current scene was somewhat similar to you taking a gun and preparing to go to the anti-Japanese front line to die heroically, and then a few old men pop out next to you, holding Xia Dynasty Monomolecular Stone Axes in their hands, and telling you that their ancestors were vassals of the Xia King, and now that China was suffering, so they had to abide by the Ancient Covenant and fight alongside you.

The Priest continued:

"Although the omens in the sky and the disturbances on the ground showed that this day was approaching, I didn't expect it to arrive before I was buried in the yellow sand. Well, dying for this cause does not betray the Emperor's expectations of our ancestors."

Zhang Ge then replied:

"Generally speaking, after so much time, how close is the Green Tide?"

"Very close, I'm afraid it's right behind us now."

After thinking about it, Zhang Ge still comforted:

"There's no need to be so pessimistic. Reinforcements are already on the way and will arrive soon. Even if they are right behind us, you only need to hold on for a short time."

The Priest shook his head:

"Perhaps."

At this time, as the other Walkers continued to advance, they had become the end of the line. These bone-white machines moved with heavy but not slow steps, somewhat like creatures made of bones.

After today, how many of them will be able to stand in the sand sea like they do now?

Shaking his head and throwing these thoughts aside, Zhang Ge used the comms to ask the two still behind the dunes to return to the construction site first, informing Yolanda to draw some Servitors to build a defensive line.

Wait, speaking of Yolanda, did she directly say "Sandworm" earlier?

The somewhat tragic atmosphere was interrupted by this sudden thought, Zhang Ge sighed slightly, and after being invited to board the Walker, set off with them.

And not far behind the crowd, some creatures who had inexplicably smelled a larger struggle, a larger bloodbath, and a larger WAAAAAAGH! became even more excited.

Even the small cars they were driving, which could speed up quickly, went even faster because of this. The roars spat out from the Warboss's large teeth brought out a large area of agreement, like a tsunami's announcement echoing in the open desert.

It was hard to imagine that the greening of the desert would be realized in such an alternative way. This dense and sprawling torrent was wrapping around from all sides towards the place they were going.
